YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Thu Jun 22, 2017 9:17 am

691 GP - 375-216-68, 2.58 GAA, .912 save pct. 44 shutouts -- 14 assists

115 playoff GP, 62-51, 2.65, .908, 10 shutouts. Major contributor to two Stanley Cup Championships.

Since the 2005 lockout, Fleury is fourth among all goalies in GP (670; Lundqvist, Luongo, Miller). His 371 wins ranks 3rd (Lundqvist 405, Lu 373).

Against Philadelphia: He was 27-17-2; against Washington: 20-12-2; against NYR: 30-18-9; against NYI: 23-10-6.

Major plus for Marc-Andre, he owned the Pacific Division while he was here...43-15-7, 2.20 and .926 save pct.

223-105-33 in the Igloo/CEC/Paint Can

Best of all, he was 375-0 in wins. Undefeated when winning the game. Clutch.

Merci, Flower. Bonne chance!

He is good.

Wish he would have gotten that damn goal he always tried for.

Future hall of famer. You will be missed, sir.

Went to his first game vs Kings way back in the dark ages. Who would have thought he would be a 3x champ?

Thanks for everything Flower.

I hope he gets it against the Pens.

If he scored an empty netter at PPG against us the place would go goddamn bananas.

Going to miss him big time.

Hopefully in a few years, he comes back to be a vet back up at a cheaper price.

It's one thing to understand, intellectually, that this was inevitable. It's something else to be texted from a non-hockey fan friend while you are in the middle of watching a standup comedy show asking if the Pens lost their goalie to Vegas.

14 years to the day after he was drafted first overall.

I miss him already.

Oh man...for some reason this one hit me right in the feels.

Best and Biggest (combination) save for MAF?

3 contenders that I can see are in no particular order:

Ovechkin breakaway - game 7 in 09
Final moments of game 7 against Detroit - Save on Lindstrom
Shaft save on Ovechkin in game 7 in 2017

for being somewhat of a headcase at times, he was actually awesome when it came to those do or die moments.

I put them in order, from my perspective.

Someone from Pensblog noted his acceptance of a sports psychologist...

we find out this year both Holtby as well as another big time goalie (forget who) also have sports psychologist... I would imagine it's quite normal actually... I mean the guy didn't have that or a goaltending coach worth a damn for years and still did pretty well... I mean some big time future hall of famers could only dream of one cup, let alone 3. I mean when Lundqvist retires - what's going to be his signature moment?
